She lowered her hand and gave him the side eye. "And you call me a simp." She muttered.
He kicked her ankle.
Sam sat by Miguel and smiled his way. "Thanks."
Odessa figured out quickly that the pair wanted to work together so she took the liberty of working with Demetri. She watched as his poked at the dead animal in front of them. "That's repulsive,"  Odessa gagged.
"Did I see you eat a whole tray of bacon early?" He said to her.
"At least I didn't have to see the pig being mangled."
"What are you thinking for sex?" 
At Sam's words, Demetri and Miguel immediately looked at her, their eyes wide. (Boys.) Odessa scoffed. "She means the pig,  you pervs." 
Samantha smiled at her. 
Miguel blushed red.  "Oh,  um,  well—"
"Because in the male,  this tract opens near the umbilical cord.  So I think ours is female."
"Yeah,  uh,  I concur." He stammered.
They continued with their assignment and Odesa glanced at them again, seeing the sweet smiles they were giving each other. She would definitely be making fun of him later. 



















Odessa was happy that Eli decided to come back to the dojo. There was a lot less students than before, courtesy of Johnny Lawrence's teaching skills, but she was able to convince her friends to come back (Hailey was a struggle). "You had to dissect a pig?" Eli questioned as he listened to her talk about what happened in Biology.
Odessa quickly nodded. "I did. With Demetri."
He cringed. "Oh, wow, I'm sorry."
Johnny stepped out of his office. "Fall in!"  He shouted and noticed how little students were there. "Where is everyone? Crater face? Nose ring? Sling shot?"
"They quit,  sensei."  Miguel answered.
"Are you serious?"  He asked in disbelief. He quickly cleared his throat.  "I mean good.  That was a test.  I wanted to see who the quitters are.  Not you guys.  You're in it to win it,  right?  You could be at home playing your Icomputers,  playing your video games,  eating candy. Instead,  you're here,  doing push-ups,  learning how to fight—"  Oliver gave him a weird look. Johnny spotted a quiet Eli. "Lip! Look, even Lip's tougher then those guys!"
Odessa sighed. "Oh, God. Not again."
"Could you please not call me that?"  Eli spoke up, shocking them all.
Oliver nodded, feeling proud. "Alright,  Eli." 
Johnny blinked.  "Excuse me?"  
"Could you please not call me that?"  Eli repeated himself a little louder. 
"Um,  i'll warm 'em up,  sensei."  Miguel tried to jump in to avoid another yesterday from happening.
"No,  Lip has something he wants to say,"  Johnny stated. "Sorry,  speak up,  Lip.  Or is your tongue messed up too?  Are you one of those challenges kids?"  He taunted the teenager to get a rise out of him. 
"Um,  the doctor said I could be on the spectrum,"  Eli tried explaining himself, his words becoming shaky. 
"I don't know what that is but get off it pronto.  All right?"  He demanded. "If you don't want me to call you Lip,  don't have a weird lip.  Cant you get surgery?"
